Casa de Lorenzo works with living botanical materials sourced from across the Philippine archipelago. Our work centers on preparing plant materials through distillation and other botanical processes. These materials are derived from tropical trees, leaves, fruit, and foliage that form part of the diverse plant landscape of the Philippines. Materials are gathered and processed in small batches according to harvest conditions, plant maturity, and seasonal availability. Rather than following fixed industrial production schedules, preparation responds to the rhythm of the plants themselves. This approach allows each batch to retain the character of the material from which it is derived. Subtle variations between distillations are therefore expected and reflect the influence of season, plant condition, and handling. Casa de Lorenzo operates as a working botanical house. The focus is not only on finished materials but on the process of preparing and understanding plants in their material forms. Materials prepared through this work may include distilled oils, plant extracts, pressed oils, and other botanical preparations derived from Philippine plants. Access to current materials is available through direct inquiry. |
